Even though the Glib docs says we should use base 1000 to display "Network and storage sizes" I don't agree. They might have their rationale for this, but almost everything else displays KiB as KB(I know this is wrong) or at the best, they display file size as KiB. Even browsers(Firefox, Chromium...) and the majority of websites display KiB as KB. They are not ignorants or idiots, they're just not trying to confuse users.
All in all, I think that Thunar should use base 1024 notation, because it's not wrong and it's no confusing for the user, for example: "Oh, I downloaded this 60,4 MB file(the site and the browser told the user this), but Thunar says this is 63.3 MB". The funny thing is that if everybody is not following the standard, the one that follows is seen as wrong. So, if I or someone else submit a patch in order to "fix" this, will TPTB accept? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387695 Title: File size displayed wrong To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunar/+bug/1387695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
